Here and Now
Every
Now and then
Again and again
In and after a wee while
Where once something
Made us feel
A terrible sense of inner pain
Eventually turns into a smile
When enough time has been taken to heal
Old wounds of an innocent young fool
Not every time granted
Over and over again
Just in and after a wee while
Old wounds have taken enough time
To let one be enabled to remember
That life must and does carry on regardless
And doing so devoid of any possibility
Of joy , happiness , laughing raising a smile
Is neither in reality living in the
Here or Now
As technically you already
Living and walking amongst the Dead
The stuff of songs , painting and poems
